Maintainer(s)' notes

There are plenty of good ideas of what people can do published here on the queue. Turning a patch from the tracker into a pull request is not one of them. In order to get maintainers' attention way more quickier, PR should have at least a sample included. We know it's hard to test images generating software, but it doesn't mean we can not test numbers produced by intermediate algorithms used to generate these images, so either a test or a sample.

This patch adds truecolor, anti-aliasing and alpha support to most types
of charts. Truecolor only gets used if you have libgd2 (preferably
2.27+), and I can't guarantee what happens under GD1 if you try to use
AA or alpha (I'm guessing it breaks).
Mostly the changes to GD::Graph are not very noticeable, although I like
the effect it has on area graphs (see http://www.presinet.com/area.png,
alpha => 32, aa => 1, otherwise a normal area graph).
I haven't gone through it carefully, but I'm pretty sure this patch
could be greatly reduced by moving alpha up to the Graph object and
having the set_clr family automatically use it (from reading the library
source, all calls without alpha are automatically sent to the alpha
versions anyways, regardless of palette vs truecolor or anything else).
I have also done the same stuff for GD::Graph3d, including improved code
for 3d pies (see http://www.presinet.com/new_pie.png). I'll link these
two patches together in RT once I've created the other one.

This revised patch moves a lot of the updated 3d pie code into pie.pm.
Now if you set aa => 1 and '3d' => 1, you will get the new stuff,
otherwise you'll get what previously existed. Also moved support for
legends into pie.pm.
See Gd-Graph3d bug for a similarly updated patch.

Hello,
You recieved this message as you filed a bug report or feature request against GD::Graph module on CPAN.
My name is Ruslan and I'm new co-maintainer of the module. I've updated the module to 1.45 with doc changes and released it to CPAN. See distribution status [1].
I have TODO list for several releases, so if your ticket was a patch then turning it into a nice pull request may expedite inclusion :)
